A Truce on Christmas. BRITISH AND BOERS OB? SERVE CHRISTMAS TO THAT EXTENT. London. Deo 25, 4 30 a. m.-The war office bas received a cablegram from Geo Forestier-Walker dated at Cape Town yesterday, saying: "Have no farther newe of the general sitaatioo.'7 It may be almost safely predicted that nothing will occur today.

The Dake of Connaught again pressed to be allowed to go to the front, bur the government declined to give its assent. Then waiving considerations of rank, he offered his servioes to Lord Roberts in any capacity as a etsff officer. L^rd Roberts consented, but the government again deelined.

It bas to be admitted that, mao for man, me haye found ourselves pretty weil matched, but the Boer bas always the choice of positions. "Let England then become alive to the need for a farther 100,000 men -Such a foroe will prove the truest econ omy in both blood and treasure."

They have been taken to Water fall to join other prisoners. An official account of the Boer casualties at the battle of Tugeia River says thirty meo were killed or wounded.

The Pretoria detach? ment of artillery gave tbe alarm Gen Boiler's Ladysmith relief column was jo battle array, advancing on toe Boer position, close to the Tugeia and Colenso The centre consisted of an immense orowd of infantry, flaked on each side by two batteries, with strong bodies of cava ry supporting Tbe Boer artillery preserved absolute si leode, not disclosing its position Tw> batteries came within rifle distance of our foremost position and the B>ert theo opened fire with deadly effect Our artillery also commenced and apparently absolutely confused tbe ene my, who were allowed to think the bridge was open for them to cross Their right flink, in the meantime, attaoked the Boers' soutbefmo3t posi? tion, cut the Mauser rifle ?re was so tremendous that they were rolled back like a spent wave, leaving ridge? and ridges of dead aod dying humanity be? hind.

Habana, Dec 24 -The events of the last few days have had a great effect on Coban politics The cir comstaDces attending the arrival of Gen Wood aod departure of Geo Brooke, taken with the speech of the former at the farewell banquet to the latter, io which tbe intentions of the Uuited States government were restated, have satisfied the Cabans that Coba will certainly be indepen? dent withio a reaonable time More than this, the arrivai and public and private utterances of Horatio Rabeos have increased the restful feeling that now apparently exists among all classes Mr Rabeos has, without doubt, considerable influence. Wherever he goes he is cheered by the people ; bis room at the hotel is thronged with Cuban officials seeking ao inter? view, and altogether he is regarded somewhat in the light of an oracle Every influence is being brought to bear lo stop the proceedings against the custom house appraisers oow under arrest on charges of fraud The judges, the supreme court, fiscal and many other important officials are related to the persons under suspicion. Gen Wood says that if the appraisers are guilty they must be punished, no matter who is hurt If their relationship to the judges is such as to disqualify the latter from giving them ab impartial trial, judge or judges from some other province'will be assigned to try them Gen Wood declares that if Judges decline to perform their duties, they wili be impeached in Cuba just as they woald be anywhere else The Patria, commenting upon Gen Wood's remorks at the farewell diu uer to Gen Brooke, says : "It was a most satisfactory speech, with a pleasing: military simplicity Obviously the United States intends to fulfill the terms of the joint reso? lution, and Gen Wood is the man selected as the instrument for this task'1 Two Murderers Lynched.

The Kind You Have Always Bought Signature of (^^y^ff^C^y. Squandering Public Money. Waehington, Dec 25 -The roost notable thing about the present attitude of the Hanna McKinley machine is its apparent recklessness ! in arranging for legislativ that will result in the extravagant expend? ture of public money They seem ; to take it for granted that the people are too dazed to see through their schemes, one of the most costly of which is the ship subsidy job which is lo be started with an appropriation of $100 000.000. to be disbursed in ten years. This job was endorsed by Mr McKinley in his message, and by the republican National Committee at its recent meetings, and it is to posh it along that Assistant Post master General Perry, and Com troller of Currancy Dawes have been selected so long in advance of the campaign, and in absolute defiance of the 4}ivil Service law to prepare literature to be distributed by the national committee The principal duty of this republican literary bureau for several months will be to try to fill republican papers with demands for the passage of the ship subsidy bill by Congress, in order that the weak kneed repobli cans in Congress, who are disposed to balk on this subsidy business, may be made to believe that the press of their party is demanding the legis lation Ifthi*8 job goes through Congress, and is signed by Mr McKinley, it ought to and probably will, make thousands of democratic votes in the Presidential campaign. A nd that isn't the only contemplated job In fact, it looks as though the Hanna-McKinley machine, in its recklessness to spend public money in the interest of its favored supporters, would furnish a first class lot of vote making democratic cam paign material Boss Platt bas already half won his fight against Secretary Root as the nominee for vice president on the McKinley ticket, as Boss Hanna bas publicly said that there was no dis? position to force Mr. Root on the ticket if he was not acceptable to'tbe New York delegation But Platt is not to have everything his own way, and it is practically certain that he will not be able to get 'bis man. Tim otby Woodruff, on the ticket Hanna played a strong anti Platt card when be got a boom started for Cornelius Bliss, who was Mr McKinley's first secretary of the interior, and who is every bit as objectionable to Platt as Root And he dropped a hint for Platt when be said that if New York wanted a second place on the ticket, it would have to present a united delegation at ibe convention, other wise the nomination would go to some other state Already Attorney General Griggs has a minature boom. That Mr, McKinley does not re gard bi? re-eiection as an assured thing, may be judged from the fact that he has already partially made ar rangements for an across the conti nent stumping tour, similar to the one he made last fail The excuse is to be the launching of the battle ship Ohio, at San Francisco, which is to take place sometime in September or October Mr McKinley will attend the launching on a special train, going by one route and returuing by another, and will make rear platform speeches wherever the party mana gere may consider them necessary Similar trips are to be made to the New England states, ail of which shows that Mr. McKinley isn't ex pecting the walk over that less shrewd members of his party are pre dieting. Subscriptions to the fund that is being raised for the widow and chi! dren of Gen Lawton, who was killed in the Philipines, are coming in quite rapidly The total now exceeds $11.000 The administration has refused to order Gen Wheeler to either re main in the Philipiues, where he is said to be much dissatisfied with the command given him by Otis, or to return to Washington H? got a friend to endeavor to get Mr Mc Kinley to drop a hint on the subject, and that is the sort of hint be gol. If Gen Wheeler returns, he will have to resign hie commission as brigadier general of volunteers Senator Marioo Butler, chairman of the national people's party commit tee, has sent a letter to-each mern ber of that committee asking for their views as to holding a national con vention to nominate a presidential ticket He thinks a convention will be beld, and that it will nominate Coi Bryan. Speaking of the con? vention, Senator Alien, of Nebraska, who is a member of the national com mittee, said that it made no differ ence whether the Convention was held before or after the democratic convention, because it was already settled that Col Bryan wouid be nominated by both conventions Sen a'or Allen says the B~yan electors wili carry Nebraska by 25,000 ma jority It should be perfectly natural for i the army and navy to act together in ? offensive operations against a com mon enemy, but experience, both in Cuba and in the Philippines having shown that they do not alway* do so, the recommendation of 'ospector General Breckenridge thal congress provide for a joint army and navy board, the duty of whicn shall be to arranged for the co operation of the two branches of the army. A COMEDY OF BLUNDERS. It Taught One Man More About Horse? Than He Knew Before. This Cass avenue resident: knows about as much ot* horses as he ?loes of the technic of tiger hunting, but a few weeks ago he paid $200 for a $10C horse and since that has looked upon himself as an equine authority. Sun? day afternoon he was in the bay win? dow enjoying his morning paper and a cigar. Hearing a clickety-clickety click on the asphalt, he looked out, glared, dropped his paper and eye? glasses and dashed out as though he were going to pull a tire alarm. "Hi. there! Stop that team:" he shouted. "Halt'" And all the prome? naders on the block obeyed, but the horse trotted along. "Ten dollars to the man who brings me that horse dead or alive!" whooped the citizen, now too much excited to be lucid. "That infernal liveryman has hired him out. and me paying the highest price for his keep. I'll show him! Ten dollars, dead or alive," in Richard III voice, "for that horse!" A lusty bicycler grasped the situation and two minutes lat?r aad caught the bit of the horse. The man in the buggy protested, swore and threatened, but the grinning wheelman trotted the whole outfit back to the excited citizen. "Unhitch him!" he shouted. "Some? body will pay big money for this! Call a patrol wagon. What's your name?" Then the citizen turned pale and gasped: "Three white feet! My horse has but two, and he's smaller. My mistake, gentlemen and ladies," for there was a crowd now. "Beg pardon." And he started for the house. But the man in the buggy jumped up and wanted to fight The bicyclist de? manded his $10, and the crowd jeered. A policeman came in time to referee. The wheelman got his $10, the real owner of the horse accepted a humble apology, and the liveryman raised the board the next day.-Detroit Free Press. TRAPDOOR SPIDERS. The Curious Vest* That These Inge? nious Insects Construct. A curious species of insect is the trapdoor spider, whose nest consists of a tube excavated in the earth to the depth of six or eight inches. It is al? ways lined with silk, and it is closed with an ingeniously constructed door. One sort of door closes into the nest like a cork in a bottle, another is as thin as a piece of paper. In all cases the door opens outward, and when the nest is placed, as it usu? ally is, on a sloping bank, it opens up? ward, so that there is no fear of its gaping. The object of the trapdoor is to conceal the nest, and consequently lt is always made to resemble the gen? eral surface of the ground. Sometimes, however, an enemy attempts to open the door, and then the inmate braces its legs against the sides of the nest and holds it as fast as possible. Still other spiders have inner doors besides outer, so that if their first de? fense be carried they may have anoth? er behind which to retreat. More curi? ons still is the ingenuity of the branch trapdoor-that is to say, a door that opens from the main tunnel of the nest into a side branch, which the stranger could discover, since there is nothing to distinguish it from any oth? er part of the main nest. So, then, if an enemy should effect an entrance the lawful occupant of the nest can quietly slip into the side branch, close the door and there remain in security while the intruder wonders what has become of her.-Our Animal Friends. A Fountain of Ants. The house I was then occupying was a bungalow, and, as is the case with many bungalows, the inner walls were constructed of merely sun dried bricks, and in the recesses of one wall a col? ony of white ants had established a nest. It was evening. I heard behind me a buzzing sound. I turned, and from a hole near the bottom of the wall I beheld a fountain of young white ants ascending. They reached the cell? ing, and then the descent commenced. They alighted by thousands on the ta? ble and there shook off their wings. In a few minutes thc cloth, the plates, the glasses, even the lamp shades, were covered with the little white feeble crawling creatures. The fountain of ants continued to play for at least ten minutes. When, next morning, the floor was swept the wings that the ants had shaken off filled a large bas? ket What became of the ants them? selves I cannot say.-"Haunts and Hobbies of an Indian Official." A Famous Distillery. The poor receive all the profits of one of the most famous distilleries in the world, that which is connected with the monastery of St. Bruno, in the department of Dauphine. which is better known as La Grande Char? treuse. The distillery itself is a con? siderable distance from the monas? tery, but it stands on land belonging to the order, although the French gov? ernment has a claim over it. The monks of St. Bruno, although they are sworn to poverty, have con? trol of an industry which produces about $150.000 a year profit, of this one-third goes as a contribution to the fund known as Peter's pence.

And I brnt above hi ni as he lay, 1 beni and whispered low, "0 beautiful dreams' that to childhood come, I, too, your joys would know!" And 1 listened as soft he laughed again, I listened, and then I sighed. I wondered where he was wandering While Dreamland's gates stood wide. For I could not follow where hr- went, K?>r my wings had been dipped by care, And only those who can soar on high May enter sweet Dreamland fair. But I could patiently watch and wait And love ?um as there he lay. For Dreamland's wonders he'd tell to me When back he came with the day. So I was glad when lie laughed in his sleep Was glad, and I knew no pain. For, led by the hand of my laughing boy, Dreamland was my own again. - Morning Guide. SHOOTING OUT THE LIGHTS An Occasion When the Old Ranch? man Saw the Trick Done. I "Accord i nj? to western stories," said a former ranchman, "one of the favor ite amusements of frontier despera? does is 'shooting out the lights.' I nev? er saw it doue but once, but the iud dent made sufficient impression on my mind to last me for life. It was at Benton, a small camp on the old "Stake Plain' trail, in northeastern New Mexi? co. I was staying there over night with a couple of cattlemen, and we naturally gravitated to the only resort In town, a sort of combination of bar and gambling house, in a rough one story building, containing a good sized single room. "The bar was on one side, and on the other were two or three 'Mexican monte' tables, over each of which were several large coal oil lamps in wall brackets. In the center of the place was a chandelier containing three more, altogether giving a good deal of light. We were sitting at one side smoking and talking, when in rushed half >a dozen drunken cowboys, headed br a well known ranchman named Bill Wells. "The crowd were out for excitement and didn't care how they got it. They took several drinks and then clustered around one of the monte tables. In a few moments Wells insisted upon mak? ing a bet over the limit, to which the dealer objected. 'If you don't turn for that bet, I'll shoot out your blankety blank lights!' bawled the ranchman. 'The leemit ez feety dollar,' said the Mexican dealer, and the words were no sooner out of his mouth than Wells and his gang pulled their six shooters and began blazing away at the lamps. "About 25 or 30 shots were fired, and almost at the outset the place was in complete darkness. Of course there was a stampede, but I remember being surprised that I had heard no crash of glass. Half an hour later I went back and found the place lit up as brightly as ever. Wells and his cow? boys having been taken aVay by friends. The roof was full of holes, but not a single lamp had been hit. What had put them out was the con? cussion of the shots in a confined space." - New Orleans Times-Demo? crat. An I'nsousrht Pardon. Among the stories of that former governor of Texas familiarly known as Sam Iloustou is more than one amusing tale. There was a financial agent of the penitentiary who had warmly opposed the election of Governor Houston, but was particularly anxious to retain his own pleasantly lucrative position. Con? sequently the governor was soon in re? ceipt of a petition in which the man's y?ars of faithful service and special qualifications for the place were set forth in glowing terms by himself. The governor sent for him and said gravely, "It appears from'this petition that you have beeu in the penitentiary eight years." "I have,'" was the reply. "And during that time you have per? formed faithfully every duty that has come in your way to the best of your ability?" "I have." answered the agent, his courage swiftly rising. "Then, sir." said the governor, with the air of one conferring a priceless favor, "I pardon you out!"-Youth's Companion. Jnitt In Time. "Hello! Is that Mr. Highmus' resi? dence V" "Yes."
